How to preview videos in realtime?

[Walter Soyka]

[Harris Majeed] “how do i view my videos in realtime like Premiere Pro? It’s impossible for me to casually edit if After Effects gives me this problem. I dearly hope that there’s a solution.”

Ae is not a non-linear editor, and it is not built for real-time playback. Rather than look to move wholesale from Premiere to After Effects, I think you should look at how you can use the two applications together.

Here are some links to get you started:

Thanks, Walter!

I actually knew about Dynamic Link but thought there would be a way to use AE completely. Oh well, it’s not the end of the world. I can use Dynamic Link.

Again, thanks for the response.
